Electronic component mounting board having a plurality of terminals and method of manufacture

A mounting board assembly, comprising:

• a printed board defining a plurality of through-holes;
• a plurality of terminals mounted on the printed board;
• a pedestal plate having a plurality of pedestals;
• and
• deformable coupling portions positioned between the plurality of pedestals, wherein
• the deformable coupling portions integrally couple respective pairs of the plurality of pedestals to one another,
• clearances are configured between the plurality of pedestals at positions outside the deformable coupling portions, and
• the deformable coupling portions are configured to allow mutual displacements among the pedestals.

A method of manufacturing a mounting board, comprising:

• providing a printed board having a plurality of printed wires;
• providing a plurality of terminals having open ends and attachable ends;
• integrally molding a plurality of pedestals and deformable coupling portions from a synthetic resin to produce a pedestal plate,
• wherein the deformable coupling portions integrally couple the plurality of pedestals to one another, clearances being defined between the plurality of pedestals at positions outside the deformable coupling portions, and
• the deformable coupling portions are configured to allow mutual displacements among the plurality of pedestals;
• positioning the plurality of terminals within the plurality of pedestals to form a plurality of connectors;
• superimposing the pedestal plate, to which the terminals are attached, to the printed board by securely positioning the pedestal plate on top of the printed board,
• wherein the superimposed pedestal plate is held on the printed board by a plurality of positioning jigs;
• and
• soldering the attachable ends of the terminals to the printed board such that the attachable ends are electrically connected to the plurality of printed wires on the printed board.

A mounting board comprising:

• a printed board defining a plurality of through-holes;
• a plurality of terminals mounted on the printed board, and having ends inserted into and soldered to the through-holes;
• deformable coupling portions;
• and
• a plurality of pedestals disposed on one side of the printed board, the pedestals supporting the terminals and being integrally coupled to one another through the deformable coupling portions, clearances being defined between the plurality of pedestals at positions outside the deformable coupling portions,
• the plurality of terminals, the plurality of pedestals, and the deformable coupling portions being all distinct from one another.
